Two spherical vessels of different sizes contain the same gas and are connected by means of a pipe with a valve. Sphere A has a diameter of 5 foot at the given pressure gauge of 50 kgf/cm². Sphere B contains the same gas at 20 kgf/cm gauge. The valve is opened and when the properties have been determined, it is found out that the gauge pressure is 36 kg/cm². The temperature at the two vessels before and after opening the valve is maintained at 21.1°C. If the barometric pressure is 750 torr and the gas inside the sphere is oxygen, find the following:

Transcribed Image Text:Two spherical vessels of different sizes
contain the same gas and are connected by
means of a pipe with a valve. Sphere A has a
diameter of 5 foot at the given pressure
gauge of 50 kg/cm². Sphere B contains the
same gas at 20 kgf/cm² gauge. The valve is
opened and when the properties have been
determined, it is found out that the gauge
pressure is 36 kg;/cm2. The temperature at
the two vessels before and after opening the
valve is maintained at 21.1°C. If the
barometric pressure is 750 torr and the gas
inside the sphere is oxygen, find the
following:
